Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The NRL should fund a 'top 34' juniors and compensate the clubs who produce these guys. Put them into a ballot and give two to each club each year in a draft format. The whole process would make the game a lot of money through TV.

I’m sure you are aware that the draft has been to the High Court and was found a constraint of trade and thus illegal…

the first time some young feller got drafted somewhere he didn’t want to go… his player manager would be in his ear to go back to the courts

Was that young fella Terry Hill?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

players could elect not to nominate for the draft if they wish

If the money is bigger

you are more optimistic then me if you think a draft would work in the dog eat dog and every man for himself NRL world

Why on earth would Metcalf leave the warriors.? He's been playing brilliantly and seems to have locked up their no6 jersey

They need to find money for the number 7 he was going to retire this year and is now playing on

But one has to respect optimism.

Webster saw the talent. The boys club did not.

Johnson? I hear he has signed cheap..

Metcalf is signed very cheap next year…having quality players signed cheap is a good thing

 

[Odessa]

On a minimum contract...?

He is not on minimum contract alot of culbs chased him Warriors one out and also I think RTS mite be back as well

Adam Reynolds was cheap also. Thrown in the scrap heap.

Reynolds is in my “relatively cheap “… category … like $700k or so… although getting a bit long in the tooth, he was still a representative level player …

Metcalf would be probably half that

700K he is on I wish the Tiger Muppets would have offered him a contract

they have others they can move on before Metcalfe

Webster … ex tigers coach

Wish the board saw what you see.

Just watching the replay of the Jets x Warriors NSW Cup game - Ronald Volkman just did a goal line dropout that went 60m on the fly, huge kicking game for a small guy but cannons for legs.

I watched the game and he did nothing his passing was slow he never ran the ball and he is small and not a great defender. He is not what we need
